Many people consider the TT-RS as the modern day equivalent to the Quattro Sport, well they ain't even close.

Sorry about turning this to Audi but you did ask.
Sounds like the modern Ur-Quattro revival that I've seen mentioned on Autoblog and the like a few times in the past couple years, no? I guess it will basically be an S5 (or RS5 if one perfers) CSL, although probably taken to the next level. Maybe an even-more-extreme-than-the-TTRS version of the I5 will show up too, since the original Quattro was an I5.

So yeah, if what savage speaks of is a CSL or something like it, then I would definitely put this theoretical Audi in line as a competitor. Good times.
